Paver-oriented ramps or deck
Investigate the shallow transition and the supported screed/track path; confirm the exact paver configuration.
Will low-clearance components clear the loading path?
Paving & road equipment
Pavers, mills and rollers present different loading problems. Screeds, conveyors, drums and narrow contact patches need their own measurements.
Define the transported assembly
Separate pavers, cold planers and rollers rather than treating them as one loading case. A paver screed, planer conveyor or roller drum can define a different obstruction and support pattern. Document stowed components and the lowest point throughout loading, not just the final parked height.
Tail or traveling-axle system
Check loading and lifting conditions separately from frame capacity, particularly for drums and concentrated contact.
Carry these details into the load plan
- Stowed screed/conveyor/canopy envelope
- Drum or track contact pattern and component clearances
- Exact loading configuration and manufacturer instructions
A device-local worksheet for measurements, sources and unresolved questions.
Cat PM620: operating and transport states differ
Caterpillar separates the PM620’s 14.52 m operating length with conveyor up from its 12.43 m transport length. It lists a 3 m transport height and 2.48 m transport width. The 29,586 kg transport-weight basis includes specified equipment, empty water and full fuel. Confirm the actual build, canopy and conveyor stowage and retained fluids. These documentary dimensions do not establish loading clearance over the trailer transitions.
- Verify the machine build and installed options
- Record conveyor and canopy in transport positions
- Confirm water, fuel and attachment state
- Review track contacts and the complete loading path

Measure before selecting
- Screed and conveyor stowed width
- Lowest frame / drum clearance
- Track or drum contact pattern
- Transport height including canopy
Loading approach
Long shallow ramps and paver-specific transitions may be needed. Obtain the trailer loading-angle and ramp documentation for the exact configuration.
Support & load concentration
A roller drum or milling machine track can concentrate load into a small section. Review flooring and crossmember support as well as total capacity.
Configuration traps
A paver-specific deck may have a different load concentration rating from a standard lowbed carrying the same model-family name.
Build a measured configuration brief →Build the load record
Keep the model reference, actual attachment configuration, measured transport envelope and support drawing together. A change to the machine or its loading position requires the affected comparisons to be updated.
Equipment links support research. Highway Match uses the measurements you enter and does not silently import a related model’s values.
